(A) The speed of longitudinal waves in a medium is given by $v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}$,where $B$ is the bulk modulus and $\rho$ is the density. Thus,$(a) - (i)$.
For a solid rod,the speed of longitudinal waves is $v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}$,where $Y$ is Young's modulus. Thus,$(b) - (ii)$.
According to Newton,sound propagation in air is an isothermal process,giving $v = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}}$. Thus,$(c) - (iii)$.
According to Laplace,sound propagation in air is an adiabatic process,giving $v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}$. Thus,$(d) - (iv)$.
The correct matching is $(a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv)$.
